Hello all, well im here to show the rearing of my new c-quest onyx percula clownfish pair, i will post pics and videos of the actual stages of the pair and the fry, should be interesting in a couple months to see how it turnsout. i will update as much as i can and also answer any questions you guys have..Little info about me:Ive been a clownfish breeder for a while(5years) , ive sucessfully raised onyx,darwin,black ice, picasso and the awsome super snowflake clownfish, im also in the process of producing platnium clowns,super snowflakes,and an all black snowflake but thats another thread i will have to start soon, i really love clowns as you can see in my videos and love producing new designer clowns, it's exciting and challenging to see your own babies grow up,also enjoy seeing others smile and be happy when they recieve some of my offspring...INFO ON FISH: recieved fish on 08-08-2012 had a very hard time tracking these guys after they got lost on a fedex truck,arrggg settled them in thier new home and on 08-12-2012 4 days later got a good size nest from the pair. so in 8-9 days we should have some babies.. it will be interesting to see how long and how much black these fry will have, c-quest is known for the nice amount of black in thier onyx , so well see.. any questions just ask, i will be posting videos and pics ENJOY.........
